You’re different tonight. You’re quiet; sinking into the background when you’re usually the center of everyone’s attention. You think I haven’t noticed. After all, I’m just Tre Cool, right? I’m the joke; the one who takes nothing seriously, least of all himself, and the one you can never confess your feelings to and expect to understand.

I suppose that last part’s true. I don’t understand you. I don’t understand how you can act like two completely different people. I don’t understand how you can smile sweetly at me and have my back against the wall and your nails scratching my face a second later. Who are you, Billie Joe?

There is one thing I get: one thing you made sure I understood. You left your mark in eyeliner on my bathroom mirror: the one I found only after I’d managed to untie myself from the Goddamn bedpost and stumbled into the bathroom to wash the taste of you away. You leave a bad taste in my mouth, you see, but it’s never as bad as it was when I looked in that mirror.

This ain’t love. This ain’t nothin.

You catch my eye from across the room, and I know exactly what you want. When Jason asks where the Hell I think I’m going, I tell him what you want to hear.

“Nothing.”

And I’ll meet you in the bathroom in five minutes.
Nothing’s different about tonight after all.
